Ok, i was thinking, are they sins or natural human characteristics? Think about it, two toddlers playing together, do they know about sin, rapture, jesus christ and religion? Do they care? No, so if these toddlers are playing together and one has more toys than the other, the one with less toys will show envy by seeing he has less toys. The one with more toys won't lend the other one any toys, now he's showing greed. The one with less toys will take one and might hit the other kid in order to take it, now he's showing wrath. So in a split second these two toddlers have shown us 3 of the 7 "deadly sins". That makes me think, maybe they are not sins but natural human characteristics, the only reason they were put the label of "sin" on them would be because religious leaders needed a way to further control the will of others. Not that these 7 characteristics are good, but in many cases they lead to happiness or misfortunes, the whole thing is that i don't think they are sin. True?
